Understanding a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

A wrongful death lawsuit can be filed when a person passes away because of the fault of another.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful deaths can occur from many types of fatal accidents. Common occurrences include but are not limited to:

• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Tractor-trailer accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Construction accidents
• Motor vehicle accidents due to a drunk driver

Regardless of how your loved one passed away, our Elkhart Wrongful Death Lawyer can hold the liable party accountable. Wrongful death accidents are typically caused by negligence. To prove negligence, you must show:

• The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care.
• The defendant breached their duty by not giving the plaintiff a standard level of care.
• The breach of duty caused the plaintiff’s injuries that caused them to pass away.
• The plaintiff/family suffered damages.

If someone acted negligently, they should be held accountable for their actions. Our firm will do whatever it takes to hold the responsible party liable for your loved one’s death.

Our Accident Law Firm Will Get Started on Your Case Immediately By:

• Listening to your story
• Answering your questions
• Advising you what to do next
• Investigating the accident scene and all other evidence related to your claim
• Reviewing medical records, police reports, and all documents
• Determining which parties are liable for your injury
• Meeting with insurance adjusters

Damages You Could Recover in an Elkhart Wrongful Death Lawsuit

While compensation will not bring your loved one back, it can help ease the financial burden the death of your loved one has caused. In a wrongful death case, damages are intended to compensate the victim’s family for the losses associated with the death of their loved one. Damages that could be recovered in a wrongful death claim include:

• Medical costs: If your loved one received medical care to save their life or for comfort measures, you could be entitled to recover those losses.
• Lost income: If your loved one provided income for the family, you could recover future lost wages they would have provided if they had not passed away.
• Funeral and burial/cremation expenses: The unexpected cost of a funeral and burial or cremation could be included in damages.
• Loss of consortium: The loss of companionship, love, and support your loved one provided.

The attorneys from our personal injury firm can fight for you to recover the maximum amount of compensation for your loss. You should not have to deal with the financial consequences associated with your loved one’s death.
